Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was carried out to investigate the best stock-scion combination for cleft grafting of rambutan from June, 2006 to April, 2007. The rootstock species were Litchi (Litchi chinensis) Longan (Euphoria longan) and Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with six replications. The performances of the plants raised by cleft grafting were studied in respect of success, survivability and growth performance viz. days required to bud break and first flash, height and diameter of rootstock and scion, and canopy volume. In this experiment, rambutan scion onto rootstock of same variety showed the best results, in terms of success (55.83%), survivability (53%), and height of rootstock (14.84 cm) and scion (17.40 cm), whereas rambutan scion onto litchi rootstock gave success (41%), survivability (32.67%), height of rootstock (12.70 cm) and scion (16.95 cm). Combinations of the scion grafted onto the rootstock of the same cultivar gave the best performance in respect of success, survivability and morphological growth compared to other combinations.

Start Date: 00-06-2006

End Date: 00-04-2007

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Fruit

Objectives:

1. To find out the best stock-scion combination for vegetative propagation of different fruits.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Germplasm Centre (GPC) of the FTIP (Fruit Tree Improvement Program), Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh at June, 2006 to April, 2007. The study was made to investigate the performance of the plants raised by cleft grafting method of vegetative propagation with three different rootstocks.Treatments were - R₁ = Plants raised by Litchi _rootstock + Rambutan ^scion= (Lir + Ras) combination R₂ = Plants raised by Longan _rootstock + Rambutan ^scion = (Lor + Ras) combination R₃ = Plants raised by Rambutan _rootstock + Rambutan ^scion = (Rar + Ras) combination After grafting the plants were maintained in good condition by watering, manuring, weeding as and when necessary. Proper shades were provided with the help of bamboo chatai until grafts were in good growing condition, polythene bags were opened after every two days to remove the accumulated moisture inside them in case of cleft grafts. Data were recorded from the grafted plants during the period from June, 2006 to April, 2007. Data were statistically analyzed by the help of a suitable statistical package (MSTAT-C). The mean differences were evaluated finally by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% level of significance.

Achievement/Findings:

Rambutan scion onto rootstock of same variety showed the best results, in terms of success (55.83%), survivability (53%), and height of rootstock (14.84 cm) and scion (17.40 cm), whereas rambutan scion onto litchi rootstock gave success (41%), survivability (32.67%), height of rootstock (12.70 cm) and scion (16.95 cm). Combinations of the scion grafted onto the rootstock of the same cultivar gave the best performance in respect of success, survivability and morphological growth compared to other combinations.
